Ouch...in the morning!

It's finally DAY 5 since my surgery on Tuesday.

The swelling has gone down and the pain is slowly diminishing.

But somehow I woke up feeling uncomfortable. Damn.

I guess it's still in the healing process.

Oh well there's always painkillers.

healing and high,

soup, wheat and soggy mee...

I envy you normal people.

For I shall join your ranks in a couple of days.

Yes, I'm not in pain but I just can't chew my food. It's a pain in the butt.

It's not painful or anything, but its just that my teeth can't seem to bite down on solid food properly. Probably it's because of the swelling on both sides of my lower jaw. But besides that, the bleeding has stopped and I don't feel a thing from the stitches.

Anyhow, my diet for the day has been:

Campbell Chicken and Mushroom Soup with 1 Slice of bread for Brunch.
- yeah its a pain to chew the mushrooms and don't get me started on the bread. I had to cut it into really tiny pieces and throw it into the soup. And best part since I can't chew properly I'm just doing the bird thing where they just swallow the food.

Wheat Bix and Milk
- I got hungry at about 3p.m.. Bread and soup is not enough I guess. So here I am watching episodes of Family Guy and I begin to think of what snacks can I eat without having to bite stuff. And yup, soggy wheat bix and milk did the trick.. eww

Soggy Mee and Blended Vegetables.
- Thats probably the icing on the cake. My mom had to boil the mee (or noodles) until it was really soft and almost melts into the soup and then she blended a bit of vegie and threw it in. Totally sucked but you gotta eat to live.

Sucks being sick like this. I can't wait for the swelling to subside and then it's Steak, Satay, Popiah, Mutton, Rendang, Ayam Masak Merah and all those wonderful food that I've been craving since Monday! hahaha

sore and tasteless,

Wisdomless...

It's official, I'm no longer a wise guy!

hahaha..

Yup, I had my wisdom teeth (bottom 2) removed this morning at about 11a.m.

I can't really give you the details of what happened cause basically, I was knocked out.

The last words I heard were "just relax... open your mouth.." and...

BLANK

next minute I wake up and I feel like the doctor is pulling out the rest of the stuff and he says "its all over.. and it's pretty good"

I walk over to the recovery room, quite happy in fact and I took pictures! hahaha

I think I was high!

So I rested for a couple of hours.. and then the doc explained a few more stuff before I went home!

I will post the pics soon. So bare with me.

till then,

wisdomless and sore, but happy and high,

Tik Tock... Tik Tock...

Man... I think I know how Captain Hook (from Peter Pan) felt whenever he hears that clock ticking....

Damn!

I'm gonna go under the knife again in 2hours.

And the excitement is killing me! hahaha...

Hopefully its not gonna be as painful as I imagined. Or it could get worst. Damn that doctor for giving me those statistics.

See, he said this "boy, one of your tooth is touching your nerves *draws green line on that nerve*, this one if we accidentally touch it, your bottom half of your lip will go numb for 2 to 3 months... chances of that happening is 4%... hopefully you're not that unlucky"

Then he continues "but what I'm worried is that theres this other nerve, *draws another line*, cause this one is connected to your tongue and if accidentally touch that, you will not be able to taste food for 3 to 4 months. But chances of that happening is 3%"

Seriously, I was already picturing myself not being able to taste food! 3 to 4 months. Hell even alcohol will be tasteless.. Man! I hope it doesn't come to this.

eagerly awaiting...

it reads POTONG STIM all over...

Well some of you may not have known that I was at a Oral and Facial Specialist Clinic on Friday afternoon.

Now, I was there to make an appointment about removing my wisdom teeth as it was gonna be a pain in the ass in the next couple of years.




Those pics are obviously my xrays and erh if u see the 2nd one properly u probably could see the last tooth growing sideways instead of up!

So yeah thats kinda like the one i have to remove plus the other one on my left.

Anyway the appointment was set for 1.30p.m. today, and I was clearly anticipating the surgery!

And at 1p.m. I got a call from the clinic saying.. "sorry sir, the machine broke down can you reschedule to tomorrow at 10.30?"

WTF??!! seriously... my plans now have to be rescheduled and the recovery time is gonna be longer than expected. Damn!

till then... i'm waiting still
